Chapter 117 Not Enough Confidence
"Brother Hong, who are those two?"

An Sheng had actually noticed their eyes long ago, but he didn't pay attention to them just now, and didn't ask until he saw them leave.

"They are Sun Qixin and Qin Zhimin."

Meng Hong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that Ansheng was still a newcomer after all. Although he could be considered integrated into this circle, there were still many players he didn't know.

"Sun Qixin, who is ranked third, and Qin Zhimin, who is ranked seventh?"

"Yes, it's them."

"It seems that if you want to win this competition, it will not be easy."

Subconsciously, An Sheng sighed.

But his words revealed his goal of coming to participate in this competition. Without any doubt, he just wanted to win the championship.

"Yeah, I originally thought that I had a great chance of winning this competition, but seeing you, I feel that this competition is going to fail again."

Following his words, Meng Hong said with emotion, which brought An Sheng back to his senses and realized that what he said just now was somewhat offending.

"Brother Hong, I didn't mean that."

"Haha, An Sheng, it's okay. With our ranking, as long as we come to participate in the competition, the goal is of course to win the championship. Even if you come to compete now, my goal will not change. If we meet by then, you will have to Be careful."

"it is good."

An Sheng nodded seriously. He would not underestimate Meng Hong, nor would he underestimate Sun Qixin and Qin Zhimin just now.

Players like them can occupy the top ten rankings for a long time, and their strength is definitely not to be underestimated. In particular, he has never played against them before, and he is not familiar with their style of play and characteristics, which is even easier. He had to deal with it carelessly.

It is worth mentioning that originally, according to An Sheng's previous training plan, he would not participate in this competition, but after listening to Xia Yutong's suggestion, he felt that what she said was very reasonable, the road is very long, yes He needs to take it step by step.

And the first goal he set for himself was to win a championship in the CTA event, and because of this, he came to participate in this Hangzhou station, and his goal was to win the championship.

More importantly, in addition to this first goal, he also set a series of follow-up goals for himself. For example, he wants to improve his CTA ranking to the first place. For example, he wants to get The champion of the CTA year-end finals.

Moreover, he wants to accomplish these goals within this year.

In this way, for him, he is determined to win this Hangzhou competition. Otherwise, he may not be able to achieve these follow-up goals.

On the evening of that day, the tournament just announced the complete draw for this event.

This Hangcheng Station Platinum Series Open has a total of 64 draws. Among them, Ansheng was ranked tenth and received the status of the No. 5 seed player.

It has to be said that even he could only get the fifth seed, which shows how fierce the competition is in this event. In addition, at least half of the top twenty players have come, which is once again confirmed. at this point.

Because of this, although the game has not officially started yet, Ansheng is already feeling a lot of pressure.

And in the afternoon of the second day, An Sheng ushered in his first opponent, a player from Shanghai City, Gao Yong.

What is particularly worth noting is that although Gao Yong failed to get a seat as a seed player, his CTA ranking was as high as 43rd.

With such a ranking, it should be no problem to get a seed seat in ordinary amateur competitions, but this time, he can only start from the qualifying rounds.

And when An Sheng and Gao Yong fought, he was shocked again, because he could clearly feel that the opponent's strength was not weak. According to the attributes of his system, he had at least reached the upper level of stage 50.

You know, it's only one-sixteenth of the game now, and the opponent is so strong, which makes An Sheng's pressure rise again.

Of course, as far as this game is concerned, An Sheng won the victory without any suspense, but he couldn't help but be a little worried about the next game.

For him who wants to win the championship, it is certainly not a good thing to meet these capable players too early and consume too much energy.

And his worries soon became reality.

When the competition schedule came to the third day, An Sheng met a strong opponent as soon as he came up. A local player from Hangzhou, Jin Pengfei, is currently ranked 22nd in CTA.

The key point is that his state is very fiery, his mental state is also very excited, and his belief in wanting to win is very strong.

An Sheng could easily feel this during the just-concluded pre-match warm-up.

As expected, his match with Jin Pengfei also made him have a harder time.

In the beginning, the scores of the two sides were rising alternately. It was not until the seventh game that An Sheng seized the rare opportunity and broke serve.

In the end, relying on this break of serve, he won the game with a score of 6 to 4.

Moreover, it must be explained that in this game, from the beginning to the end, An Shengke did not let go of the water, and he kept his focus throughout the whole process, and he was already playing his best.

But even so, it was still difficult for An Sheng to win. From this, it can be seen that this local player from Hangzhou is really good.

This also made An Sheng feel that his luck might not be very good, to meet such a capable player so early.

However, he quickly abandoned this idea, because when he returned to the lounge, he heard a piece of news that surprised him.

That is, the No. 10 seed of this tournament, Chen Jialin, actually fell in the quarter-finals again, and his opponent was not a well-known player, and his ranking was only in the forties.

In addition, An Sheng soon discovered that almost all the players who had been promoted had a heavy complexion when they returned to the waiting room. It seemed that they were all in a lot of trouble.

Among them, the No. 2 seed of this tournament, Meng Hong, was also included.

"Phew~ Labor and management have played games for so many years, but they rarely encounter trouble in one-eighth of the games. I didn't expect that this time, I almost made a mistake. Fortunately, the opponent also made some mistakes, otherwise If not, I will be eliminated."

Sitting down, Meng Hong kept wiping the sweat off his face, as if he still had lingering fears.

It seems that not only An Sheng met a strong opponent in the game, but everyone else was similar. In fact, he might be considered lucky. After all, he was at least able to control the game steadily and did not appear. any surprises.

In fact, this incident can only show that An Sheng is still not confident enough. With his strength, there are only a few people who can stop him from winning the championship.

However, when the competition came to the top eight, he really needed to be more careful, because the remaining players could really threaten him at this point in the competition.
